“That stupid guy dares to use his bare hands to stop Lark’s fatal move? Doesn't he know that Lark is using his best attack?” Some people mocked Philip when they realized he was just a brainless fool. Philip overheard their comments and laughed at their naivety. “Let me show you absolute power today.” Philip did not dodge but blocked the attack with his hands. He easily stole the rod and swung it in his hands. Everyone was dumbfounded by his actions. Who would have thought that Philip could easily snatch the rod from Lark? Moreover, Philip easily resisted Lark’s powerful and deadly attack. It was simply surreal! “Wait a minute, what's going on?” “Where did this guy come from? He actually withstood Lark’s attack!” The people of the Spada Guild were dumbfounded at Philip’s strength. The onlookers were horrified. They had turned away from the tragic scene because no one thought Philip could withstand Lark’s attacks. Jax stared at Philip in shock. He knew that Philip w
At first, Harris thought that Philip would be ripped to pieces as long as Lark took action. Everyone would be in awe of the Spada Guild when they saw Philip's tragic end. Instead, Lark was defeated by Philip as soon as he made his move. Philip’s actions not only insulted Lark but also disgraced the Spada Guild. If word of this got out, everyone would think the Spada Guild was a pushover. Lark was ranked third among the internal members of the guild, and his strength could not be underestimated. It would be over once everyone found out that Lark had been defeated by an unknown person. Although Harris claimed to be the shorty’s brother, it was just in name. The shorty’s biological brother was the senior apprentice in the guild. As the second apprentice, Harris could only shamelessly claim to be his brother. The reputation as the senior apprentice was not to be trifled with. If they failed to take care of Philip, it would be the same as disgracing the senior apprentice, an
When the blood came into contact with the long whip, mysterious runes appeared on the whip. “You can brag in hell about being killed by this move of mine.” Harris laughed as he swung his whip to attack Philip. Countless shadows surrounded Philip, trying to besiege him! This move was Harris’ trump card. When Harris completed a big mission for the guild back then, an elder personally selected this technique for him! This technique was enough for him to reach the top! He could easily kill any number of people who tried to attack him. This powerful skill was called the Penumbra Technique. Combined with his whip as a magical weapon, this technique fully played an important role. Everyone panicked upon seeing Harris taking this so seriously. The members of the guild knew Harris very well. He had never been driven to this state before. Harris would only use the most powerful killing moves when competing against the members of the guild. Philip had to be very strong for Harri
“That's how it should be. This fight will only be interesting if you attack me with all you have, or it’ll be boring if I simply crush you in a one-sided match.” Everyone gasped at Philip’s arrogant tone. In fact, Philip thought Harris was a pretty good talent. He was young with good abilities. He would have a bright future if he developed properly on the right path. Thus, Philip felt exasperated at Harris' inexplicable provocation. Messing with Philip was never a good thing. The best outcome would be to destroy Harris' core so that he would never practice again. Although Philip was not a ruthless person, he was no saint either. Harris was dead for messing with him. Philip grabbed a cleaver from the side that the members left behind as a spare weapon. The cleaver was worthless, simply used as a tool for chopping firewood. In Philip’s hand, however, the cleaver came alive and hummed shrilly. Philip stroked the cleaver as if he could converse with it. “Don’t worry, you’
Philip used a small portion of his strength to gauge Harris’ level. As Philip continued to lower his level, he finally fought on par with Harris. Harris was so shocked that he regretted fighting Philip by now. He was complacent at first, thinking that Philip was not worth his time. Later, he realized that Philip was giving way to him. As time went by, however, he realized that something was wrong. Even though he tried his best, he could not penetrate Philip's defense at all, not even finding flaws in Philip’s movements. He was scared of this powerless feeling. He had never encountered such a difficult opponent before. ‘What’s going on? He looks no different from ordinary people, but why is he so powerful?’ Harris thought. Harris kept backing away, feeling too helpless to resist. If he could turn back time, he would do it even if he had to pay with everything he had. On the surface, the two seemed to be fighting on equal footing. However, Harris knew that it was a one-si
Endless energy poured into Harris. Soon, he became very powerful. The members of the Spada Guild widened their eyes in surprise. They recognized the pill Harris took. It was a level-enhancing pill, a nickname given by the guild members. Taking this pill would not increase their actual practice level but would only enhance their strength for a short time, maybe even double their current strength. It was a forbidden drug, and no one was allowed to use it. Someone would only use it as a last resort. A practitioner would suffer a serious backlash after taking the pill, maybe even death. The guild members quickly educated everyone about the side effects of the pill. The onlookers could not believe that Philip could drive Harris to this stage. They thought that Philip was just an arrogant person. However, he had the strength to go with it. At this point, they believed that it would be an honor for Philip even if Harris ended up killing him. Harris roared in anger and po
Philip used a lot of strength in this kick. Even if Harris’ energy core was not destroyed, he would be severely injured at least. It would be impossible for him to practice again. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the battlefield. Philip ignored the other party but continued with the kick. There was a cracking sound at the moment of impact, and the sound of the energy core breaking was audible. Philip saw a practitioner in black clothes in front of him. The man held the half-dead Harris in his arms as he glared at Philip solemnly. Harris fearfully used all his strength to look up at the practitioner in black before cowering in silence. His energy core was destroyed, and Harris could hardly move due to the excruciating pain in his body. “The senior apprentice is here!” Everyone exclaimed in horror as if the other party put a lot of psychological pressure on them. Harris sighed and said, “You’re finally here.” He could not muster the courage to say another word. He f
Everyone felt their anger fading and thought they had gained a huge advantage, which left them a good impression of Manta. Indeed, he was a capable person and worthy of being the senior apprentice by the way he resolved this crisis so easily. “You two troublemakers will receive your punishment when you return to the guild. As the second and third apprentices, you set up a blockade here instead of leading the other members to practice properly. This is a disgrace!” Manta reprimanded. The onlookers quickly switched sides. Before this, everyone resented the Spada Guild very much, but they had a good impression of them now. “It looks like they have an amazing person in the guild, after all. He’s very reasonable!” “I’m surprised that the senior apprentice of the Spada Guild is someone like that. He's a powerful being, indeed. This is the splendor a major guild should have!” “This is true justice and equality. All of us should learn from the senior apprentice!” The people who
“It’s your honor that our family has taken a fancy to you. Stop resisting. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You must be trying to gain more benefits. As long as you agree to this marriage, I promise that you’ll lead a good life, much better than what you have now!” Lazlo looked at Celeste condescendingly, seeing her as a gold digger. “You’re sick.” Celeste was dumbfounded. Celeste pulled Philip and wanted to leave, but Lazlo had no intention of letting them go. He had finally found a beautiful woman to solve the problem for him. How could he let her go? He had looked around earlier but had not seen anyone as beautiful as Celeste. It would be a privilege to bring a beautiful woman like Celeste out. If Celeste was willing to cooperate, he could hold his head high in front of many people. Thinking of this, he summoned the family's guards. “Hurry up and capture them. Even if you refuse, you have to do it!” Lazlo laughed at this point. “Young lady, you'd better li
Philip winked at Ronan, signaling him to wait while he went in with Celeste to see what was going on. “In that case, my brother and I will see what’s going on,” Celeste said with a sigh. She just wanted to watch the fun. Why was she involved all of a sudden? Philip and Celeste walked in, and Lazlo was surprised to see someone else. However, a look of realization crossed his face after his servant introduced Philip’s identity. “Yes, I was too hasty about this. We should discuss this matter with the family.” He quickly invited everyone inside. After taking a closer look at Celeste's appearance, he nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, this woman was very beautiful and perfect from every angle. She was the best choice for his son. To be frank, even Lazlo was attracted to her. “My son is getting married today, but his bride is very ugly, so I want to use you in place of the bride. After this, you can become my son's concubine,” Lazlo said condescendingly as if Celeste should
At this moment, Celeste looked no different from normal people, and her face was more stunning, capturing everyone’s attention with one glance. Lazlo was excited to see her and knew that she was the woman he had been looking for. Indeed, the bride was very ugly and had a strange appearance. He would never have agreed to the marriage if the woman had not saved his son's life. His son had been seriously ill and bedridden for a long time, almost on the verge of dying. To save his son, he promised that anyone who could save his son could make a request. This woman saved his son and requested to marry into the Cohen family. Although reluctant, big families attached great importance to promises. If they went against their conscience and broke the promise, it would greatly impact their subsequent practice. Hence, Lazlo had no choice but to agree to their marriage. However, to prevent people from talking behind their backs, he appointed some dedicated maids to take care of the ugly
Ronan grabbed the others in fright so that they could stay together. Ronan was a strong guy, after all. With his protection, the others would not be separated by the crowd. Philip looked at this scene and asked the onlookers curiously, “What’s going on? What’s the occasion? Is it a celebration?” Philip had a smile on his face. He thought the atmosphere was quite interesting as if someone was having a celebration. “Don’t you know? It’s the wedding day of the young heir of the Cohen family. I heard that they’ll be serving free spiritual beast meat during the feast. Whether it’s true or not, we want to join the fun. It’s great if the news is true.” “Young man, you must be a visitor from out of town. You’re in luck!” Everyone smiled and walked along excitedly, hoping to spread happiness. Since it was a happy occasion, Philip took the others to join in the fun. As expected, it was very crowded, and everyone sat happily while waiting for the feast to begin. They looked at a lux
Arachne glared at the address Philip left behind. “Since he wants to meet the person behind the scenes, let him! That person is our king!” They worshipped their so-called savior very much. Sadie left without a word. She knew her limits. She would only die if she continued to fight Philip. Since she was no match for Philip, she had to find a way to become stronger. Philip would be doomed once she was strong enough. She was angry when she thought about being humiliated by Philip today. Philip did not care about them at all. He just wanted to see the person behind the scenes. Someone who could create that amazing gene seal had to be an extraordinary person. He would have to tread carefully.… Meanwhile, Raja was in trouble. Raja had left very hastily as his territory was under attack. The other party probably wanted to take his territory for themselves. The other party was a large and powerful race with vicious means. They somehow received news about his departure, so the
Although their strength had improved significantly, their opponent was Ronan, a talented expert. He was not someone they could mess with. These people were easily crushed. Before they could call for help, they were sent crashing into the walls and unable to move. Ronan was surprised at his strength. Philip had given him a lot of wine recently, which had greatly improved his strength. Combined with his innate talents, Ronan was almost invincible by now. Philip looked at him with satisfaction, pleased with his achievements. “Not bad. You did very well, but some of your moves are still quite sloppy. I'll give you a set of techniques later. Once you master it, you can crush these people easily with your bare hands,” Philip commented like a judge. Arachne and the others were knocked to the ground, horrified at Ronan’s strength. Sadie was very indignant about her defeat. They had resorted to some evil methods to improve their strength. How did they end up so miserably? “It lo
“Are you one of my kind?” The man was very excited to see one of his kind. Judging from the situation, the other party probably saved him. “Yes. I predicted that you’d appear at this place, so I asked someone to rescue you. You’re quite unlucky,” Celeste said awkwardly, feeling sorry for his bad luck. It was tragic to think that such a noble and mysterious race ended up as a slave. “They don't know my identity. They just think I look good. Thanks to them, I’ve done quite well with this face.” He laughed at himself at this point. Ronan felt sorry for the man at the sight of his pitiful state. He had been in the same plight back then—without any status and rejected wherever he went. He understood this misery better than anyone else. After getting to know each other, Philip took them away through the side door. The gentle and refined man was Darius. Philip gave him some pills to heal him so that he would not look so haggard. When they walked out, they bumped into Arachne
“We accept the deal. I declare that the man is yours!” The man was a slave who belonged to the organizers, so these auctioneers could easily decide his fate. At this time, a young man stepped forward and said something to the host, interrupting the auction briefly. “Excuse me, but this man has been taken.” They took the man away quickly before anyone could react. The crowd was confused, wondering what was going on. “What’s the meaning of this? The auction isn’t over yet! Did someone offer something that can decide the outcome?” “I don't believe anyone can come up with such a good thing. Besides, although the man looks pretty good, this is over the top!” Everyone thought it was too much for someone to spend so much money on an ordinary man. Ronan watched in silence. He knew that the bottle of wine was nothing to Philip, but to outsiders, Philip was simply spending a fortune to get a slave. He sighed inwardly. It seemed that a handsome face was very important. The org
“What a bunch of perverts,” Philip cursed unhappily at the sight of their gleaming eyes. He had to get this guy at all costs. The bidding started, and everyone sent the price soaring. At this time, Philip decided not to compete with money. There was no point in bidding with money. He decided to offer something for the other party's ownership. He contacted the organizer of the auction and gave him a bottle of wine. “I have some wine that can improve your strength after taking it. I can let you have a taste for free so that you can verify my claims.” Philip then handed over the wine in his hand. The auctioneers looked at Philip doubtfully, surprised by Philip’s sudden gesture. “I know that the neighboring city is selling some wine that can improve one’s strength, but it’s very hard to get!” As auctioneers, they were very well-informed. Moreover, the Wagner family had spread the news a long time ago. Their intention was to promote their wine, but they had to include Philip t
